S1 E16 / Loving Kdramas but ready to branch out? I took a break from Kdramas to shine a spotlight on some Japanese dramas I loved.

I share some of my favorites: twisty mysteries, workplace dramas, and fast friendships.

Did you know Jdramas are getting easier to stream? Netflix, Viki, and Amazon are adding fresh Japanese dramas—so it's a great time to put a few on your watchlist.

✅ Spoiler Free episode, except for one trope mention, which has a warning. Chaptermarkers are timestamped.

S1 E15 / Brett Battles is back to talk with me about Like Flowers in Sand, a brilliantly layered Kdrama that’s so much more than a sports story.

In this spotlight episode, we gush about:

• Strong female characters in the village
• The golden retriever that is Baek Doo and the delightful pairing of him with focused Doo Sik and their slow-burn romance
• Flashbacks done right
• The joy of a well-integrated mystery plot (versus tacked-on serial killer plot)
• Found family, hidden identity, childhood friendship, and underdog tropes
